Episode 31: Soapbox Derby

Published: Sept. 21, 2013, 7:45 p.m.

b'This week, the Pantsless Ones are joined by video games writer and rising YouTube star Erika Szabo. We each brought a topic to talk/preach/rant about from our soapboxes, but before that we of course have Consumption Junction.\\nErika catches us up on the huge changes in her career since her first appearance on NWP. Then there\'s Tales of Xillia, the Biggest Sneeze Ever, Angelo\'s fear of extraterrestrials, and Patrick\'s love of evil. Julian shakes his head at Wal Mart\'s poor purchasing skills and rallies back from a week of little to no sleep.\\nThen the group takes to the soapbox. Julian has a lot to say about what a review should be, and urges readers to do their part to understand that reviews are a two way street. Patrick is fearful that bloated triple-A game budgets are stifling developer creativity. Angelo wants to be able to talk to people on the internet in a level headed and mature manner. Lastly, Erika tackles the dreaded "M" word (that\'s "misogyny" if you haven\'t been paying attention), and being a feminist that somehow ends up on the wrong side of both sexes.\\nEnjoy, comment, and share!\\nFEATURED MUSIC:\\nMadonna- Express Yourself\\nGruppa Kino- Gruppa Krovi\\nHome Movies- Franz Kafka!\\nMichael Jackson- Man in the Mirror\\nSarah Michelle Gellar- Going Through the Motions\\nThe Avett Brothers- Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise'
